SENATOR CULLOM TALKS.


He Says the Interstate Commerce Law
Has Come 10 Stay. but it May Need
Some Amendment.
CHICAGO, August Ex-senator Cullom is In the
CITY, He refuses 10 talk politics. but said In refer
ence to his interstate commerce bill: "Under the
law the Interstate Commission is charged with
the duty OF reporting suggestions and amend
mentS to the act to the Secretary OF the Interior
who will then report them to Congress. l antic-
pate that certain amendments win be suggested,
as the practical working OF the law has shown II
to possess a few minor defects. That was to be
expected, as no matter how perfect a theory may
be- .he moment 1t Is put into practice there are
certain to be some whom IL Will hurt in one way
or another. Now, the other day, / had a talk
with one OF the biggest wagon and carriage
manufacturers In the country. and he was very
bitter against the BILL because IL shut OF his free
passes. He said that before the bill became a law
the railroad furnished him with blank passes, and
when any OF his customers wanted TO come TO Chi
cago, or to visit his factory in adjoining State
all he had to do was to I'LL out pass and the thing
was settled. l replied TO him that IT was one OF
the beneflcent features OF the BILL under the old
system he was given an advantage over the small
fellows In his business they could not stand up
against, and that eventually they would be
crushed out and he derive the benefit at their ex-
penSe. He finally admitted the justice Of the bill
and so the thing runs Where the bill hurts It Is
Objectionable, but on the other hand there are
thousands who are benefited. Now, think we
will always have bill OF the kind on our statute
books, but look for notifications from time to
time, as circumstances require Interstate legis-
lattOn has come TO stay"
HAS the practical working of the law up to the
present led you to think OF any amendments which
will make 1t less OdiOuS to the railroads and more
popular with all the people?"
II can't say that have given 1t any thought the
last summer, and up to the present have thought
OF nothing by which it can be improved to meet
the points suggested. l have no doubt however
that certain amendments win be proposed at the
next session OF Congress-"

THE UTE PROBLEM.
Gen. Crook Instructed to Talk the Mat.
ter Over with GOV. Adams.

Orders have been telegraphed from the War
Department to Gen. Crook to confer with Gov.
Adams, Of Colorado, with reference to the Ute
troubles. This is in accordance with instructions
from the President, through Acting Secretary OF
Interior Muldrow, to whom Gov. Adams tele-
graphed that Colorow was desirous OF a conference
and suggesting that military officers be sent to
join him at the scene OF trouble. 1t is expected at
the War Department that Gov. Adams will see the
necessity OF suspending further action by the
civil authorities, in order that the military may
treat directly With the Indians Should this re

and Gov. Adams 1t is thought that Gen. Crook

raise the money to take up the loan. They were
successful Where they got the money they will
not say, but they were at New Brunswick Thurs
day night, and had long talk there with Christie
pher Myer, from whom they solicited aid, and who
probably advanced the money. The assignee ad-
mits having visited Mr.. Myer with Mr.. Ives to OBJ
tain money, but he denies the story telegraphed
from New Brunswick that they had asked Mr..
Myer to advance $500, 900. The assignee says that
the affairs OF Ives co. are now In better shapey
and II the securities are not slaughtered the firm
will come out all right. Mr.. Ives says that ex-
Gov. Hoadley has assured him that In no transac-
ttOn has Ives rendered himself liable TO criminal

WHAT THE GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA THINKS OF THE
Ex-sEEATORs RECENT ADDRESS.
A correspondent Of the Richmond Dispatch has
interviewed Gov. Lee, at Dagger's Springs, Va, on
Gen. Mahone's recent address to the voters OF Vir-
gnia- Gov. Lee said: ''The address lacks merit
in all respects To faults OF style and conspic-
uous absence of force 1t adds the vice of numerous
msstatements. The last can be easily corrected:
the other two. fear, are beyond mortal reach. -
In regard to that portion Of the address personal
to Gov. Lee he said: 81 am not so certain that Ma
hone wrote that part; but that Is 1mmaterial
FROM whatever source 1t comes 1t Is the most
thoroughly puerile stun ever saw injected to I'LL
up paper OF the kind. see that am referred to
as the nephew OF Gen. r. E. Lee in such manner as
to imply that the author or authors OF this paper
still have some respect for his memory. Gen. Lee
said to me at Lexington, after the war, in con-
verSatlon about Gen. Longstreet, who had then
joined the republican party, and recall his very
words, That Gen. LOngStreet has made q great
mistake, and one from which he will never recover
as long as he lives mention this, not because
much, very much, smaller fry have made similar
mistakes on falling to lind in the ranks OF the
democratic party what they considered suitable
recognition OF their merit, but merely to show
what must have been Gen. Lees opinion OF the re-
publican party when we hear the expression OF
his regret that Its ranks should be increased by
